Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, Who is the faithful Witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (also 1 Peter 2:3)

Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Jesus made us (believers) kings and priests. Therefore, we don’t need an earthly priest to intercede on our behalf anymore. Who better to represent yourself, than yourself?
It doesn’t matter if we feel like a priest, or if our current actions reflect a priestly lifestyle, every blood washed believer is a priest.

With this knowledge, we should not hope and wish that God will hear our prayers and petitions. We should have an assurance as a priest of the most high God, that God hears and He is obligated to answer our prayers. Not only can we boldly come before God with our requests but, we have the ability stand in the gap and intercede for every non-believer we know.
Priests of God, allow the Spirit to use you in your priestly duties.
